Yeah no prob I expounded in the doc. If you wanna see it in action, there’s Kealie’s, but she’s got abnormally good skills and she’s just about out of juice.

Is it possible to have a bloodline that gives you the ability to temporarily render anything you touch magically inert?

That’s a cool possibility. Have you read the doc? You could put your own magic system there.

Ok, I wrote it. Did I do it right?

Yeah looks fine. Nice pink.

To those whom it concerns

this is the current idea for the Triluminescence and the World Shape. A lot of you don't like the idea of having a Tetrahedronal planet, so I want to run this past everyone first in it's entirety to see if y'all like it or not:

[xinoehp512 he/him]

@CalanoCorvus Couldn't the Hwindi racial traits be simply another Life magic system? 

[Going_North_cal]

Yes, I think that would help it fit in in World.

I'll put it into the doc as a Life system.

[The Bookwyrm he/him]

To be honest, I don't like the world shape; I'd prefer a normal spherical world for simplicity.

But if everyone else wants a tetrahedron, then I'll go along with it.

I do like the idea of a Stellari pilgrimage. It fits what I had in mind for their race. Lyras, my character, just came a little early.

Is it safe then, to assume that the Ortean Island chain is very close to one of the D4's corners?

[The Unknown Medallion he/him]

Yeah, I had planned for Orteo to just be on the way north to the corner, not the location itself.

[Channelknight Fadran]

Works for me.

[NerdyAarakocra They/Them]

Yep! That makes sense with the Triluminescence.

[Channelknight Fadran]

Okay, so we’ve been at it for awhile. Let’s reconvene and figure out the stuff.

What things are or aren’t working for you? Are there aspects of the world that need to be benched, changed, or reemphasized? Is the magic fun and functional?

For me, I think we should maaayyyyybe redefine the meta magic system a bit. Currently it’s elemental, but the ways it ties in with each magic system seems vague and unintuitive. Personally I think the solution is to reduce the magic system definition from {Elements In; Elements Out; Effects} down to {Source; Effects}.

(this applies mostly to the likes of @xinoehp512)

I don't really have any complaints. What kind of effect would such change have?

[Channelknight Fadran]

Well, basically, we’d be getting rid of the elements and replacing them with more archetypal things (think “evoker,” “summoner,” “elementalist,” “manipulator,” etc.) We’d effectively push towards a vaguely D&D-ish meta so that our current magic systems can really just exist as themselves without having to worry about conforming to any detailed meta system. The Stellari draw power from celestial bodies and use it to manipulate their surroundings; Soulcagers capture spirit energy and imbue it into their other magics. Simple as that.

D&D is evil

We should use a GURPS system instead

Because GURPS is just better

[Channelknight Fadran]

That was the least cohesive assertion I have ever seen

[demiblob he/him]

I can attest to this. In my opinion, GURPS IS better, but that might be because I have not played D&D as much.

Listen kid

you can’t just jump into my thread, diss my favorite game, slap down a business card for something else, and then leave. Not without explaining your case - not without being at least a tiny bit polite about it.
